Natalia Dannenberg: The people’s choice of top 50 Paralympic moments

The people have spoken!

We have already begun the top 10 Paralympic moments of the year – or #50ParaMoments as we like to tweet.

Some of our choices have been controversial, like placing David Weir at No. 26.

“Number 26?” someone commented on Facebook. “That's either a) very harsh or b) You've got some amazing moments lined up for positions 1-25.”

Well, hopefully it was the latter.

Now don’t be surprised that the home crowd have been very vocal on social media, so a lot of British names pop up on our fan list.

And another thing, can you spot how many proud parents nominated their own offspring?

If it were up to all of our social media followers, this is what the top 50 Paralympic moments of the year would probably look like:
